PMP update

It seems like public meditations are slowly but surely finding their way into the mainstream of society. I encourage everyone to grab a friend and go meditate in public: at a park, at school, at a busy intersection, or at a mall.

With the US elections in everyone's minds for the next couple of weeks, it'll be interesting to watch what kind of twists and turns we take as we grow into a higher consciousness.

It goes slowly but I deeply believe in this action and its eventual success. Maybe it will be years to see more and more people meditating in public. We need to break some hang-ups. It would be good idea to engage some well-recognized spiritual teachers of our times with some TV profile.Maybe Oprah could help? Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, actors who meditate etc.Wish you the best and I will join you soon!

Very interested in passing on the message about the "Public Meditation Project" to others. But it seems you are taking a break from the web (not a bad idea). When you're back, let us know. This is a very good idea and much needed in the world.

What is the Public Meditation Project?

The short answer: we create and track meditation flash mobs.

The long answer: We are a social and spiritual experiment dedicated to bridging the gaps between inner peace and world peace. EnlightenNext Magazine said about the Public Meditation Project: it “…may represent the next big thing among Gen-Y spiritual seekers in America, and the trend seems to be catching on fast.”

There's no central leadership (think "project mayhem" from fight club), anyone can organize and create a meditation flash mob, and you may use all our logos and promotional materials.

We're about creating social change through collective action. We encourage everyone to meditate in public so our collective peace can create social change. All forms of meditation are welcomed, including prayer or simply silence.

Now go organize your own meditation flash mob! (hint: all you need is a time and a public location).
